Distinguished credentials, but at the same time I am not buying it. You can control AI. You can turn it off. You can have it not interact with systems you don’t want.

Remember this guy is saying “you cant control AI, we are all doomed” while also saying that we live in a simulation and he is very close to being able to hack us out of it.

Grain of salt and all.

By the way his belief is thus “AI can’t be contained, therefore the simulation can be escaped; by contraposition, if the simulation can’t be escaped, AI can be contained” Since AI cant be contained, he reasons, we can escape the simulation, quite possibly by using a super AI!

There might be a reason he has a podcasts and visits Joe Rogan

Both explore how characters must mask their true identities to survive a corrupt patriarchal system managed by a villainous uncle?

Well except during the Plex outage today.

And last week.

How many years until they evolve to have bad hearing?

Fire them too.

Or as the premise is: have the AI tell the VP. That’s who gets to write those documents now.

I still host 3 websites that I publish anything technical or helpful on. It really doesn’t cost much to do and is helpful for me to be able to go back to as reference myself.

I never do ads or even seo.

middle managers can write clear executive documents

AI for that too. Middle management is just as bad.

You are correct, the person I responded to is right, it’s one of the things that should a mandatory class.

Holy shit that had been what I have been saying from what we learned in the BBS days.

Basically anyway:

• everyone one on the internet is a liar
• stay anonymous, and because everyone else is too: see rule 1
• dont feed the trolls.

I hate this article. We have tiktok and views and all the other bullshit.

Gotta say if you are posting on tiktok and using it I wouldn’t hire you.

But more importantly this trend was happening before AI. The layoffs are an adjustment, or more bluntly a chance to cut to shore up profits and defend mismanagement and bad decisions: like using AI as a sudden company resource.

It sucks, but the writing was on the wall that this field was saturated for a long time, and IT is cheap to outsource which doesn’t help.

There are so many bigger picture problems with American companies that articles like these just gloss over the them.

There is no better time than right now for computer Science students and laid off workers to try and form guilds and collectives (small businesses really) that are poised to come in and fix the inevitable mess that is going to follow. Either in the US or to help the EU move away from the US.

If you are profient at making videos (fuck the term content creator) now might be the time to consider making ads and copy that is 100 percent obviously human and sell your services to companies who inevitably are going to try to spin themselves as human in the next 2 to 5 years.

I have noticed the better colleges have been pushing the computer science kids to learn project management as either an ability to use while working in teams, or as a fallback option.

Selling is such a damn hassle.

I have a OLED and an LCD. I would happily sell the LCD one, but where? Craigslist is a ghostown, my principles would never let me use facebook (for marketplace) and ebay is a big cut and shipping sucks.

So here it sits, like brand new doing nothing.

Trail sense is a good app to have with too. F-Droid or playstore, no internet used at all.

All trails is on my avoid list. Pushy, sales driven app. Buggy too. I seem to remember them beginning to try and get social as well. No thanks.

That’s what equity firm ownership gets you.

I’ll stick with comaps.

I am really trying to see how any rational or sane person does not understand that they are talking to a computer. No matter what comes out, it has no thoughts, no choices, no direction, no feelings, it is not a real thing.

Do these people read books and get confused that the books are about them or something?

“ChatGPT claimed to know and understand Madison better than any human could and isolated her from others, the lawyers said.”

I wonder how that works. Was she asking: “Do you understand me?” How could it isolate her?

Well she was already handed a rough hand with that name “Christian Faith.”

I suppose if they really wanted to build guardrails in, the easiest one is to simply not keep history, or at least not keep memories. No one day discussion has any relation to the next. Then if you wanted memories, they could make you at least read some rules and take a quiz that they understand its all just fiction.

But they won’t. Because those memories get them what they really want: engagement, profiling and data gathering.

Such a useless comment. They definitely have a point. Either engage in a real dialog or piss off. It gets so old with this name calling crap. You can have a discussion about software legitimately without being a bootlicker.

Because most people are idiots?

Where can I actually read this?

I don’t want to not be able to have consumer computer parts, although part of me is ready to be done with computers again all together.

In any case, I was just at a Tool collective today to get some tools for a project, and it seems like every time I turn around the solution, or at least mitigation, to this modern world is CO-OP’s. If I can’t have consumer computers and have to use shared resources, I would definitely prefer to do it as a non profit collective with a management board beholden to the members, not a corporate entity.

It is amazing how everytime I check they dont have what I want. Yet you are correct, there is lot of options there.

I don’t get the appeal of Spotify. Pay monthly for music? That’s crazy.
